Walking into the Legendary St. Petes Dancing Marlin Deep Ellum is a Dallas Landmark and a "Must Eat". Decorated inside evokes a feeling of visiting a Sunshine State grill with hard wood floors and old memorabilia and an occasional swordfish on the walls. Large enough to accommodate 200, the store front is deceiving. This historic entertainment location should not be passed up for a gathering of many. The menu has what the founder Pete like to call "honest food" : Great Big Juicy burgers served with a heaping Fries or salad, Fresh crisp salads and full seafood and pasta entrees with plenty to share. The all too famous Tuna Steak sandwich keeps most neighborhood clients coming back, while the patio is a perfect place for the accidental tourist to sit and sip the people watching day away. Come and see why some places are meant to be they way they should be, HONEST food and fun.
The chili dog is the best I've ever had. They get the meat from Rudy's meat market I was told. Paul is usually tending bar when we go in and he is good....very attentive and fast. Plus they have nice beers on tap. I was surprised because the wings are really good too. -Never had a bad experience here.

Been here several times, and the one common thing to all my visits was that it was always pretty dead there, whether for lunch or dinner or drinks. It's a pretty large place...though it seemed like there were only ever a couple people doing the waiting duties. The food was good, and drinks were okay. There is also a covered patio with plenty of additional space.

Love love love this Bar/Restaurant!
by Bettieo
I went to Pete?s yesterday and let me tell you? this place is GREAT! We were asking about his 6 NEW HUGE tv?s and this bar in Deep Ellum is ready for football! He also said if we picked a tv, he would put on any game we wanted! Now that is service! Not to be stopped at just GREAT SERVICE , the owner went in back and produced the best hamburger I have had in a long time. I took some pictures so you could see the inside so you can try out this non sports bar that is the best sports bar in Deep Ellum. Really, this is a MUST visit. They have a tuna sandwich that is fantastic as well. Give Pete?s a try, I think you too will discover your new burger, sandwich, sports bar, game on, friendly neighborhood bar/ restaurant!
Pros: Free Parking during the day on meters!
Cons: none

BEWARE! Didn't have a chance to eat. Parking lot scammers booted my car the minute I walked away to get change. $100.00 fine. BEWARE!
Pros: To their credit, manangement was sensitive to problem and said they would put up a sign.

A good place for the most part.
by MHighLife
The food was super. Nothing at all wrong with the food. The people were very nice also. The only problem we had with the place is that there was this loud mouth drunk at the bar. He was a UT fan. And he let everybody know it. We may go back when we come back in town. You wouldn't think he would be there drunk all the time now would you.
Pros: A good place to unwind after a conference.
Cons: To many drunks at the bar.

It is honest food!
by wendyyork
Wow the best burger! It?s totally different from the twisted root down the road, it?s not greasy and was cooked to perfection. The HEAP of fries were fantastic and hot hot hot. ( my pet peeve is cold fries). They had a nice side salad that I ordered as well, but let me tell you it was a hard choice, they have a extensive menu and parking is free during the day in deep ellum so I could linger all I wanted. Two thumbs up! GREAT place!
Pros: Great casual business lunch place!
Cons: none
